RPAGF Chapter 5 Guiyuan Sect
Chapter 5 Guiyuan Sect
The next day, Cheng Jiu came out of the house and was greeted by a picture of a beautiful woman. There were green tiles and red pavilions, and a black-haired, white-robed immortal sitting there. But the whole thing was just a painting of a beautiful woman.
Well, her master's appearance is just too outstanding.
"master!"
Qingxu Venerable Lord turned to look at her, as if he had traveled through time and space in an instant. Cheng Jiu was instantly overwhelmed by her master's beauty. "I have brought you food and medicine."
Cheng Jiu nodded and obediently ran over. There were two steamed buns and an egg on the table, just the right amount for her. She ate them obediently.
As Lord Qingxu watched her eat, his heart softened.
Cheng Jiu was only six years old, but her appearance combined the best features of her parents. She had a delicate nose and lips, bright eyebrows and starry eyes, and her face still had a touch of baby fat.
And today she was wearing a pink ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), which was so cute it was almost unbearable.
His apprentice is so adorable! He coughed twice and said, "Little Jiu, I spoke with Uncle Qingyang a couple of days ago. Your Uncle Qingyang's two apprentices are quite talented in swordsmanship."
He was thinking of sending his two disciples to the inner sect for some training. "I think you've already reached Foundation Establishment," he said. "The path to immortality is long, and constant cultivation can be quite boring."
Therefore, your teacher would like to ask you to study with those two disciples.
"But even if you don't find someone you like, it's okay. I think you should broaden your horizons and make some friends. Otherwise, staying here on Canglan Peak alone would be too lonely."
Cheng Jiu nodded. That would be fine. He had been staying on Canglan Peak for a month, spending his days either practicing swordsmanship or cultivating.
Although having such a beautiful master to cleanse one's eyes.
But she really found it boring; she hadn't felt that way before.
After awakening memories of my past life, I came here from that era of information overload.
Even with the prospect of cultivating immortality hanging over him, he's finding it hard to keep up.
She actually contacted her gossip buddy, but he didn't reach out until today.
It is said that from the moment he became an apprentice, he was thrown into a "thunder pool." His master, that beast, made him stand in the thunder pool for a month when he was only eight years old, until he reached the Foundation Establishment stage before releasing him.
It was only then that Cheng Jiu realized that her partner actually had a lightning spiritual root.
It is important to understand that the Thunder Spirit Root is known as the strongest spiritual root in the cultivation world, and it is extremely rare, with only one person appearing in approximately every thousand years.
As far as she knew, the Dragon Abyss Sect only had one powerful cultivator with the Thunder Spirit Root, known as the strongest sword cultivator. There were several others who were on par with him, and their era was quite remarkable.
If it really is the other person, then you are truly blessed.
Actually, she had heard legends about her master. At the time, she couldn't quite grasp it, but this Qingxu Venerable Lord was one of the two legendary figures of the Guiyuan Sect, whose fame spread a thousand years ago.
These two are overwhelming in their time, and the only one on par with them is the Thunder Spirit Root Immortal Lord of the Dragon Abyss Sect.
Her master was said to have killed a demonic dragon that was of a higher level.
It is said that the demonic dragon was originally a snake, which obtained a great opportunity to transform into a dragon. Instead of following the right path, it actually kept an entire city as its food source.
When they sent people to report to the Five Great Sects, no one took it seriously at first. They simply sent people to kill them, but none of the people they sent returned, so they started to take it seriously.
At that time, the young and vigorous Qingxu Venerable was dressed in white and carried the Qingxu Sword.
When they arrived, they discovered that the other party was a dragon demon at the Dao Integration Realm.
As a result, Lord Qingxu was not afraid at all and killed his opponent with just seven swords!
It's important to understand that dragons, as the most powerful and mythical creatures in the world, experience a significant power boost once a jiao (蛟) transforms into a dragon.
Moreover, the opponent was at the Dao Integration Realm, so this achievement can be said to be unprecedented, with strength far exceeding the norm.
The body of the dragon demon at the Dao Integration Realm was refined into the Dragon Roar Bow. Its bones were used as the bow and its sinews as the string. Its soul was refined into the spirit of the Dragon Roar Bow. It was a top-grade spiritual treasure from the moment it was born.
Cheng Jiu had seen it in his master's storeroom; just looking at it, he could feel the dragon's ferocious aura.
Her master is amazing.
However, her master had many treasures, so this thing could only be kept as a bottom-of-the-box item.
Her master even asked her if she wanted it, and if she did, he gave it to her on the spot.
Cheng Jiu naturally refused; she was already very good at swordsmanship and didn't need to learn another skill.
Of course, just as her master said, as her cultivation level increases, her lifespan will be extended indefinitely, and perhaps one day she will want to learn archery to pass the time.
That's what her master did.
Okay, I've gone off on a tangent.
Because Cheng Jiu decided to study in the inner sect, her master considered that her disciple was still young and her strength was only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
He couldn't look after her all the time, so he gave her many treasures.
For example, her fairy robes, which are of the ninth rank, I don't know what her master was thinking.
Normally, a ninth-grade magic weapon can only be used by someone at least at the Nascent Soul stage, but her master forged it into a defensive magic weapon that even a novice like her could use.
It can prevent a powerful attack from a high-level cultivator!
In addition, there is a jade pendant that can prevent the invasion of the soul of a Mahayana cultivator. Even her hairpin is the result of her master's full-force attack, with a total of three strikes.
And then there's Tian Lei Zi, who thoughtfully provided her with every grade from 1 to 9, so she was practically armed to the teeth.
The area where she lives is collectively called the Back Mountain, a place where magical artifacts are prohibited from flying.
However, considering that the place where the great being lives is too far away.
For junior disciples like her who can't yet fly or contract a demon beast, there's a special jade slip to contact their spirit beasts, just like Didi Chuxing (a ride-hailing app).
She suffered greatly during the last selection conference, so she dutifully chose a crane, which will then fly over from the rental office to pick her up.
When the rental place was mentioned, she became curious about the five-star reviews. Back then, the cloud beast had completely forced her to buy it! What was the use of those five-star reviews?
Venerable Qingxu actually knew that the sect did not initially prohibit flying swords.
However, some disciples always descend in all sorts of strange and unusual ways.
It's important to understand that sects aren't entirely safe; it took a lot of effort to rescue them.
Until one day, a disciple fell from the sky in an extremely strange way, directly destroying the herbs that a ninth-grade alchemist had carefully cultivated.
That herb is extremely delicate. Even if it is protected by an array, it will die in the next second because it will kill itself if it is startled, regardless of whether the array protects it or not.
Therefore, these herbs are usually protected by powerful demonic beasts that never leave their side.
Moving to Guiyuan Sect would mean that this alchemist would provide constant protection.
But the alchemist was busy at the time, and no one dared to trespass on his herb garden.
As a result, an unlucky fellow broke in and ruined some other medicinal herbs.
Finally, the Guiyuan Sect prohibits flying swords and magical artifacts in important areas.
Flying is prohibited in the back mountain, and this is the same in every sect.
Originally, people living in the back mountain could fly on swords, since they would inevitably have disciples. However, this rule was implemented in the back mountain as well.
Why? Because raising spirit beasts is really expensive, and not everyone is as rich as Lord Qingxu.
They can place the offspring of their spirit beasts at the rental facility, where the other party will raise them for them.
It's important to understand that the volume of travel is very high, so this can greatly reduce the burden.
Okay, back to the five-star review. Most of these spirit beasts are offspring of powerful beings' natal spirit beasts. They are highly talented and strong, and can be considered the second generation of spirit beasts.
Before this rule was in place, there were even instances where cranes would abandon the disciples who had hired them halfway through their journeys.
How could this be allowed? At that time, the Mission Hall was filled with complaints and grievances, and even the direct disciples went to make trouble.
In this situation, the mission hall and those powerful figures discussed implementing a five-star rating system to prevent this kind of situation from happening again. Disciples can give a one-star rating and then file a complaint.
At this point, disciples from the rental office will discover the situation, carry out a rescue, and then punish the relevant spirit beasts.
"Whether or not there are five-star reviews is not really important. They just need to send you there. However, I heard that the rental office rewards spirit beasts every month based on the number of positive reviews."
However, not all spirit beasts can see the comments in the jade slip; you were just unlucky.
"As far as I know, there is only one cloud beast that can be seen," Venerable Qingxu deduced.
"Aren't they going to do anything about it?" Cheng Jiu thought of his experience of being scammed.
"The ancestor of the Cloud Beasts was the natal spirit beast of the second-generation sect leader, and that little Cloud Beast is its most beloved junior." Venerable Qingxu said with a look of approval.
Cheng Jiu nodded, understanding now that she had a powerful backer. Wait a minute! She had a backer now too! She looked at her master pitifully, "Master!"
Qingxu Venerable immediately understood and said calmly, "I can't beat him."
"Huh?" At that moment, Cheng Jiu doubted that she had heard correctly. This was Qingxu Venerable, who could kill a Dao Integration Realm cultivator with a sword even in the Nascent Soul stage. Moreover, how could someone as prestigious as her master say such a thing?
"Do you know where my lineage comes from?" Venerable Qingxu was not embarrassed at all.
Cheng Jiu vaguely understood; it seemed he couldn't get revenge.
"If you really care that much, then I will take you to the Ancestor and have him ask that little cloud beast to apologize to you." Venerable Qingxu still doted on his little disciple.
"No need, Master." Although Cheng Jiu had a grudge against the little cloud beast, she didn't want to trouble her master with such a trivial matter.
"The crane is here. Wait a moment, it will stop at Qingyang's place. You and Qingyang's two junior disciples can go together, so that you can look after each other." Venerable Qingxu did not bring up the topic again.
Cheng Jiu climbed onto the crane. As expected of someone carefully selected by so many disciples, it not only flew steadily, but sitting on it really gave him a real sense of cultivating immortality.
Riding the winds and soaring high, roaming freely beyond the four seas.
Even if there is a breeze, it feels extremely comfortable and ethereal.
You can also enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way, which is a completely different experience from the Cloud Beast.
The crane not only flew fast, but also flew steadily, and soon arrived at the mountain where Lord Qingyang was located.
In stark contrast to Canglan Peak, where his master resided, Yanqian Peak was all about luxury.
The pavilions and towers were similar to the palaces she had seen in the Forbidden City in her previous life; they were large clusters of palace buildings, gleaming with gold and as spring-like as ever.
Although his master and Lord Qingyang were good friends, Cheng Jiu had only recently joined the sect and had been staying at Canglan Peak.
Usually, it was Master who came to visit Lord Qingyang. She had only seen him once before, when she was choosing a master, which was the second time she had met this legendary Lord Qingyang.
Today he was wearing a large gold robe with faintly visible golden dragon patterns that flowed with his movements.
Her bright, sparkling eyes, as she approached from afar, resembled a vibrant flower in full bloom.
He's a beauty completely different from his master. Cheng Jiu couldn't help but stare at his appearance for a while.
However, he quickly realized what was happening and cupped his hands, saying, "Disciple Cheng Jiu greets Venerable Qingyang."
Qingyang Venerable first pinched her cheek, then picked her up in Cheng Jiu's bewildered gaze, examining her as if she were some precious object: "No wonder Qingxu hid you so well, you're really cute."
He also wanted a pretty and adorable little disciple like that, but unfortunately, both of his children were boys.
I never imagined such a cute and innocent little girl could do so many unbelievable things. But given his high-class image, he won't tell anyone.
"Can Lord Qingyang put me down?" Cheng Jiu slid her hand in mid-air. What was wrong with her? Even her master had never done this.
Lord Qingyang put her down, took out a ring from his pocket, and gave it to her as a "meeting gift!"
Cheng Jiu accepted it and thanked him sweetly, "Thank you, Lord Qingyang."
These were twins who rushed over rashly, and then Cheng Jiu saw Qingyang Zunjun swiftly grab them by the collar.
So that's how this bad habit developed!
"What kind of behavior is this, acting so recklessly?" Lord Qingyang really didn't want to lose face in front of his friend's disciples. He was now truly regretting agreeing to take these two disciples on as a friend.
He had initially agreed to the arrangement after hearing from a friend that his two sons were exceptionally gifted and that he was getting twins as a bonus. However, it turns out that boys of that age are generally disliked by everyone.
At first, the two disguised themselves very well. The elder disciple was polite and courteous, while the younger disciple, though lively, was also well-behaved and respectful.
Once you get to know them well, it turns out it's all an illusion.
Although the eldest disciple appeared gentle and refined, he was actually responsible for many of the troubles caused by the younger disciples.
The key point is that both of them were very quick to admit their mistakes.
He wanted to return the goods, but then he realized that his friend had taken his wife to ascend to another world to explore.
He couldn't find anyone at all, so he had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.
"Master, I'm sorry. I was trying to stop my brother, but as soon as he heard that there was a junior sister, he grabbed me and ran over," Gongcheng said.
"I'm sorry, Master." Gong Yu said sweetly and coquettishly to her master.
Lord Qingyang was speechless. It was obvious that his eldest disciple was talking to his youngest disciple, and then the youngest disciple followed his eldest disciple's lead and dragged him over.
The young disciple is cute, but he always feels like he's missing a screw in his head.
Thank goodness he's his own brother, otherwise he'd be sold off and the money would be counted by someone else. "Alright, this is Cheng Jiu, your Uncle Qingxu's disciple."
"Junior Sister." The two were quite in sync on this point. After all, Qingxu was older than Qingyang in terms of seniority. If they didn't confirm their titles first, they would become junior brothers later.
Cheng Jiu hadn't intended to compete with them, mainly because he hadn't expected "Senior Brother Gongcheng, Senior Brother Gongyu".
The two immediately beamed with joy. "Don't worry, Junior Sister, we will definitely protect you!"
"Thank you, senior brother." Cheng Jiu had fulfilled all of the little girl's requests, and the two of them were instantly charmed by her. They decided that they would definitely protect this junior sister from now on.
Seeing the group of children getting along so well, Lord Qingyang felt very gratified. He and Qingxu were close friends, and naturally he hoped that his disciples would get along well as well.
"Alright, the cranes have arrived. Today, you may proceed to Sword Peak. The Peak Master of Sword Peak will send someone to pick you up. Show respect to the elders and do not cause trouble," said Venerable Qingyang.
Although the Sword Peak Master was only a peak master, he lived a long time and taught many disciples, some of whom were stronger than him.
"Yes, Master," the two brothers said in unison.
“Yes, it’s Uncle-Master!” Cheng Jiu nodded.
The three of them rode on a crane and headed towards Sword Peak.
